No ending shown on Cave Story+ (Linux)

Just finished the game, no ending is shown after (SPOILER?) Kazuma picks you with the dragon (/SPOILER?).

Only a dark blue screen is shown, no matter how much you wait. Sometimes, the fanfare keeps playing in a loop (happened while using new graphics/new music), while others it keeps silent (happened with original graphics and music).

Using Ubuntu 10.04.3 32 bits, if that matters.

 

Does it do this before or after the spiel about the Doctor and you and Kazuma? Because it did this afterward when I played Cave Story+, but it's been so long since I've taken the bad ending that I assumed it was supposed to be like that. However, if it happens before the spiel, I wouldn't be surprised. Cave Story+ doesn't get along with Linux.

Also it's a pleasure to meet you Dr. Cooper.

 

Same problem here however I waited for some time and it eventually started showing some game screens but no credit text at all until the "Thank You" screen at the end.

This is due to the game trying to load incorrect filenames. The problem is that on Linux the filenames are case-sensitive:

Loading file: credit.tsc
(Could not find!)
Loading file: CREDIT01.bmp
(Could not find!)
Loading file: ogph/CREDIT01.bmp
(Could not find!)
Loading file: CREDIT02.bmp
(Could not find!)
Loading file: ogph/CREDIT02.bmp
(Could not find!)
…

The following filename changes need to be made:

To prevent the game from crashing when going into the 'Lounge' room:
data/base/Stage/Lounge.{pxe,pxm,tsc} -> data/base/Stage/lounge.{pxe,pxm,tsc}

To allow the credits to work properly and the game to finish:
data/base/Credit.tsc -> data/base/credit.tsc
data/base/Credit01.bmp -> data/base/CREDIT01.bmp
data/base/Credit02.bmp -> data/base/CREDIT02.bmp
data/base/Credit03.bmp -> data/base/CREDIT03.bmp
data/base/Credit04.bmp -> data/base/CREDIT04.bmp
data/base/Credit05.bmp -> data/base/CREDIT05.bmp
data/base/Credit06.bmp -> data/base/CREDIT06.bmp
data/base/Credit07.bmp -> data/base/CREDIT07.bmp
data/base/Credit08.bmp -> data/base/CREDIT08.bmp
data/base/Credit09.bmp -> data/base/CREDIT09.bmp

Thanks so much for the info, guys. I've been having the same problem and it was driving me insane!
